well this is a great explanation, but how does it apply to passwurdz???? remember, in battle rap if it can be said to anyone its automatically whack

I didn't think to explain this because it's clear in the context of the battle.

"Pass is afraid of his past"

This is due to the positioning of his hat brim and association with over excited affluent caucasians who celebrate by throwing clinched fists in the air in an odd manner.

"So imma take you to the future"

Hollow boldly exclaims that since he has the avantage in the past, he will take the battle to neutral territory. But even there, hollow's knowhow and acumen wins the day for reasons i addressed in my original post.

Addendum: The “Tortise skin” comment was clearly a reference to the episode of the outer limits titled “Music of the Spheres” in which Aliens(obvious reference to the “martian bitch”) warn earth that the sun is about to go ultraviolet and through music, give them the technology that will protect them from this change in the form of a permanent scaley gold plating Music of the Spheres (The Outer Limits) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i've been sleeping on this thread, but once i read this reference i almost did a spit take with my drink.

that episode was fucking INSANE when i first saw that as a young kid. it freaked me out. i've been looking for that episodes' name for hella long to rewatch it with a little more wherewithal about myself. seriously.. thanks for that shit.

Superficially the "GS Legend / PS7" line is interpreted as Hollow flossing on his futuristic toys. The craft and subtlety of suggesting that he is outfitting his ride with technology that is wildly futuristic to we the 2009 rap battle viewer, but arcane and and almost impossibly retro to the temporal space in which the line eludes to, is straight up body bags.

I've always favored Hollow in this battle, and I thinks D-Lor's research makes his victory here conclusive.

omg man...i just watched the whole battle and read every post, i love how someone wrote this - I feel like D-Lor has deftly illuminated Hollow's brilliance here. This is incredible bro, i love wordplay/metaphors and originally started watching conceited, but realize that his stuff is just too "cute" and just redundant. this is really good work dude, please keep posting read-ins/analysis of his lyrics
hollow is a calculated needle ready to weave bodybags....

I GOT SOMETHING! kind of lame but here goes. round 1 - pass says "thats why ill twist his top like a bottle cap" then round 2 - he starts off with "i just gotta get this shit off my chest" in the hidden track of dance with the devil from immort tech. diabolik says "cant freestyle your screwed off the top like bottlecaps" then "i had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction" looks like pass recycled his lines...sorry not to threadjack just wanted to point that out...
